If you want to get a room there, you should think about reserving early as I am sure the room block will fill up fast. Be sure to mention "Storage Developer Conference" when you make your reservation to get the $159 rate.

The agenda for the conference is firming up and there looks to be some great talks. This year they have even lined up Richard Stallman to give a talk to the developers.

Sacha Arnoud and I are also giving a tutorial on the new XAM SDK work in SNIA's first software TWG. This has implications for the Open Solaris HoneyComb Project as well. Other Sun Developers giving talks include:
